Abstract

A system of self-consistent equations has been proposed for the coherent potential approximation of the multiband conductivity model for the case of conduction electron scattering from chaotic electric fields of ions of disordered binary alloy components at zero temperature. It has been qualitatively demonstrated that the deviation of the concentration dependence of the residual electrical resistivity of actinide alloys with multiband conductivity from the Nordheim rule is caused by the explicit dependence of the electrical resistivity of the alloy on the magnitude and sign of the real part of the Green’s function at the Fermi level. The derived system of equations for the multiband coherent potential approximation has been used to calculate the concentration dependence of the density of states and the residual electrical resistivity of the alloys of neptunium and plutonium. The results of the calculations have been compared with the available experimental data.
